Astigmatism, high prescription, dry eyes. Can I get LASIK?

Jae8314
My RX is as follows in contact lenses: -8.00, 1.75, 180, 8.3 (im sure one of these indicates my astigmatism) I also have dry eyes caused by my immune system targeting my glands. I would like to know if I can improve my vision in just the slightest to allow me to wear glasses without the bulging lenses.
